Institutions where foreclosed real-estate balances are growing QoQ
Institutions whose Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) balance — foreclosed property held on the books — grew the most this quarter relative to total assets. A rising OREO balance signals the back-end of the credit-loss cycle, where workouts have converted to property held for sale.

Methodology
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) is property an institution has taken onto its balance sheet through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu, held pending sale. A rising OREO balance is a back-of-cycle stress signal — workouts that have completed the foreclosure pipeline and converted into property the institution must now dispose of. This card ranks institutions across both banks and credit unions by the quarter-over-quarter change in the OREO-to-total-assets ratio (oreo_qoq_delta_pct), surfacing the top 50 with a delta that meets or exceeds 0.001 (a 0.1 percentage-point QoQ increase in the OREO share of total assets). For banks (FDIC-insured): OREO — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-M item 3f (RCON2150 — RC-M items are RCON-only); total assets denominator — Schedule RC (RCFD2170 / RCON2170). For credit unions: foreclosed real estate (CU OREO equivalent) — NCUA ACCT_798; total assets denominator — NCUA ACCT_010. Cross-type comparability: bank OREO and CU foreclosed real estate (ACCT_798) are broadly analogous — both capture post-foreclosure real-estate inventory — but bank Schedule RC-M item 3f additionally bundles ex-bank-premises and other repossessed real estate that CU reporting tracks in separate accounts. Treat per-quarter QoQ deltas as comparable; cross-sectional totals remain LCD approximations. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: bank OREO balances now source directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-M item 3f (RCON2150). Prior quarters used the FDIC BankFind Suite financials endpoint ORE field family. The two should agree within tolerance; this update reflects the source-of-truth change, not a value-change in the underlying filing.
